Wow, that didn't take long
MAKE Magazine already has several posts up about circumventing some of the Zune restrictions such as how to get the Zune to appear in your Windows Explorer. There are several other articles on the site, including how to put in your own larger hard drive and how to bypass the Zune to Zune wireless song transfer DRM in 10 easy steps. Too much work for me, but it seems like Microsoft will be making changes to their DRM scheme in the first Zune patch tentitively announced for spring. Having said that about the patch, I can't find the website where I read about it. Maybe that's a complete rumor. Who knows. Anyway - the point is that the Zune has been on the market for 12 days (I've had mine for 9 days) and there are already hacks out on the web.
